A hit-and-run driver, Itoro Clement has confessed to knocking down the missing Vanguard reporter, Tordue Salem. Salem had been declared missing since October 13. Parading the suspect on Friday at the IRT premises in Abuja, Itoro said he hit Salem at the Mabushi area on October 13 and sped off. Meanwhile, one Prince Enyenihi, 25, has been arrested for attempting to extort the reporters family. He had sent a text message to Salem’s wife with a concealed number demanding N100 million as ransom. His message read in part, “If you don’t pay, Tordue will be killed in seven days. For more information, call this number.” During interrogation, Enyenihi said he got Salem’s wife’s number from a flyer which declared him missing. PUNCH.
